Title: "For All the Right Reasons"Rating: RPairing: Kirk/McCoyWord Count: 10,000Warnings: Discussion of BDSM topics and depression.Notes: This fic is the other “side” of my story “The Harder They Fall.” People asked what led up to that story, what Bones was thinking, and how something like that could work… so here it is. This story does NOT contain the actual BDSM scene. This story does not have any sex scenes. Instead, this story goes into the events leading up to the start of THTF, and what Bones was thinking.

Summary: Leonard knew that Jim was suffering some heavy emotional fallout from his first failure of the Kobayashi Maru, but he hadn’t understood why until Jim came to him with a request that would push him to the breaking point.

Title:“The Harder They Fall”(1/3)Rating: NC-17Characters: Kirk, McCoyWord Count: 18,000Warnings: Intense, hardcore, and potentially triggery. Mind-fuck. If you want spoilers to decide if it's something you can read, feel free to ping me with questions. Notes: This story is an offshoot of my Academy 'verse. This story can stand alone, and it has no impact on the main storyline of my Academy 'verse, but it references the events of AAtKM and Crossfire. Technically, it's also in the same line of "offshoot" stories as "In Perfect Trust".

My sincere thanks to gone_ashore and eldritchhorrors for their wonderful beta work, and to mga1999 for the test-reading and support. (Any remaining errors are the product of my twisted mind.)

Summary: Jim is having trouble coping with his first failure of the Kobayashi Maru. His bigger problem might lie in the fact that he wants to try it again.

Summary:"Everything feels just... it's like I'm itching for something that I can't quite scratch. So I wanted something that could… snap me out of that. Feel like I'm trying something new and dangerous.It certainly wasn't how Leonard McCoy had ever hoped to discover Jim's more unusual sexual interests, but now that he knew, he wasn't going to let the opportunity slip for either of them... if Jim trusted him enough.

Notes: The idea for this started when someone on a discussion thread (might have been the kink meme, might have been somewhere on the kirk_mccoy community) suggested a sounding fic. I said, huh, I can do zat. And the idea just lodged itself in my brain and demanded to be written. I developed it a little bit, because I am incapable of writing PWP, and this is the result.

This is a total collaboration between myself and lizardspots. She did the amazing artwork, for which I provided my feeble art beta skills and detailed descriptions. I wrote the fic, for which she provided detailed medical information and insights from the mind of a doctor-in-training. She also did some good beta work to help me revise several major sections, and don't let her tell you otherwise. Art is in Part 3.
